Specialties: Harbor Candy Shop thrives in the tradition of local American or European candy shops, producing fresh chocolates daily for customers to walk in and treat themselves to a savory respite. Even though we now have a national and international customer base, our approach to handmade confections remains the same - to create rich, smooth, intense confections.
Since the advent of photography, the adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" is an accepted truth. Each year as we prepare our annual catalogue and update our website, we brainstorm for "new" words to describe our confections, and each year, admittedly, we get a bit stumped. What other words can we use to say fresh, or delicious or luxurious? What haven't we used in the past? Because our excellence rests in making handmade, fresh and delicious chocolates and not word-smithing, we sincerely hope the beautiful photography throughout this site will inspire "the thousand words" in your imagination. Now if we can just figure out how to make the photos work as flavor strips....
Our ingredients are carefully selected, from superior quality chocolate, to nuts meeting the best standard for each variety, to pure vanillas, butters and dairy cream, to fresh eggs from hens that have some open air and freedom. We take those high quality ingredients and add our pride and professional commitment.
We assure that you will receive the freshest and best quality candies we can produce. George would have settled for nothing less. Established in 1956. Harbor Candy Shop started in 1956 almost by accident. When my father, George Sotiropoulos, brought me to Ogunquit to begin my first summer job at Bessie's Restaurant, he asked that I call home if I noticed any store-front for rent. He had a small confectionery manufacturing business in New Hampshire. Maybe I hoped there'd be nothing, for this was the great adventure of my first summer alone away from home.
However, down Beach Street and over the bridge onto the beach was a "for rent" sign on a vacated fortune teller's shop in part of what is now Huckleberries. I called home. Thus, Lillian Sotiropoulos, my mother, spent that summer traveling by bus every day from Haverhill, Massachusetts to Ogunquit, Maine to run the new shop while my father made the candy in New Hampshire and used the family car to deliver it.
Through many years and ever changing faces, Harbor Candy Shop still stands firm on the principles upon which it was founded.
